Schweinshaxe (as it's called in southern Germany) is a roasted ham hock or pork knuckle and usually served with sauerkraut Eisbein (as it's called in northern Germany) is usually boiled and served with sauerkraut and pureed yellow peas

I learned something new.

Haha! Glad I can keep you on your toes thinking! � Looking back at the title I guess I could have worded it differently but then there wouldn't be any fun in it.

This is twice I’ve come to this post & miss read it. Life gets tough when you have to stop & think once in awhile. My first response is “aye matey...........�

Unless the pig leg is shorter than her other leg...

I've gotten hogs before. I've used a sharp knife and de-boned the whole ham leg and then slice it into several sections. I will smoke a decent sized chunk of it and it tastes alot like Boston butt. I will also slice the middle section into ham steaks. Remember unless you salt cure it, the meat will not be salty at all. I really like green ham though.

Put some pants on and nobody will notice!

i was going to ask if it was a right or a left leg and if the same theory applies from brisket?

[JCGrill]

Definitely ham for part, I think. Not hard to do it if you have a big enough fridge and a large container or zip bag. You need curing salt though.

Is it a front leg? If so I have made Ecuadorian Roasted Pork Leg which turned out very good.
